Askmewhats Report: Basement Academy Day 4 (Part 1)

Hey everyone!!!
How's the morning treating you? I hope everything's well. On my side, there are a lot of things I want to do after make-up class.

Definitely need a haircut! I am still opting for a long 'do or shorten it a bit! This is the time, I want change!!! Well don't take my word for it, I may change my mind in a day or 2! :P

That's just something I've been wanting because the hair isn't doing well the last couple of days, due to late nights and stress, I think my skin is taking a toil too! So yeah, the ugly duckling in me reared it's head! :D

Anyways, another series to share for my makeup class. Day 4 is really fun because I've done looks I've never done in the past! Let's start with

Men's Makeup

Yes, heterosexual men do wear make-up! Well not daily! But on special occasions or those models for print ads or magazines or even on TV! (calling Brad Pitt for model!) lol

What do we do for Men's Makeup?

• determine the skin tone, lip shade, eye shape
• use 2-3 shades darker foundation, blend well
• apply concealer or correctors if needed
• dab loose powder
• shade (for that macho look)

My male model is so funny. He was super embarrassed to have make-up on! If you're doing a male make-up who's a first timer, one important factor that I learned is to make the person feel comfortable!!! How?

Chat with him, ask him questions, keep him busy! We ended up talking like we're best friend while "tightlining" his eyes! LOL Yes, he cried, he was in tears, but at least, he didn't punch me on the face! hahaha

Here's my handsome model
An electrical engineering student

Now now, he's getting warmed up!
